Carroll County Wild Wings challenge postponed
Ice and snow postponed a lot of games yesterday, but it also postponed another big high school "sporting" event in Carroll County: One of the semifinals of the Buffalo Wild Wings High School Rivalry Fundraiser Tournament.
South Carroll had been scheduled to take on Winters Mill yesterday, but that showdown has been rescheduled for Feb. 25. In the other semifinal, Francis Scott Key is scheduled to face North Carroll on Feb. 11.
Students will try to advance to the spring championship round by eating the most at the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Westminster. The school with the largest take, based on coupons handed over with each order between 3 and 10 p.m. that one day, wins, but each school gets to keep 15 percent of its share of the take for its athletics department.
The winner moves on to the final in April when the grand prize will be worth an additional 15 percent of the total take from all three rounds in addition to the usual 15 percent for the final round. That total is already up to $2,567 after just the first round.
Which school looks like the favorite to win? It would have to be South Carroll after the Cavaliers raised a whopping $755.49 in the first round. Francis Scott Key was second with $379.57. Each, however, starts from scratch in the semifinals, so it's still anybody’s ballgame.
